Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

hey, i've heard that once you get a thread to 1000 posts, you get your own board..........is this true? will this thread be turning into its own board?

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Laura...I use some computer programs to scrapbook. I have some Creating Keepsakes Font program that is fantastic!! Its so worth the money!!
I also have others where you can make pages, insert pictures then print them out. I dont like that program as much because I like the feel of paper and the different texturs that haveing real pics on a page!!

I am so excited to hear that other are getting into card making!! WE should have our own thread about that!! LOL

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

See Lisa, I didn't need to hear the CK font program was worth the money. I have been on the fence about that

I do computer journalling and titles but haven't done anything else on the computer.

Laura has a good idea put all the links in one post. Maybe we can FM them to Tammy & she can put them in the first post?

And Ron-WHERE IS OUR CRAFT TAB????????????

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Lisa--why did you tell me that!!! DO you have all 3 volumes? I am going to search for it and see where it is the cheapest--it is exactly what I am looking for-- the program I bought does layouts but I am with you I want the layered look-- I need something more for just the fonts
Laura
PS- I am willing to share software if anyone is interested-

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

I don't know if this site has been mentioned...but I bought some things from her on ebay...and then she told me about her site...

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

OMG Erica!! I buy from that site all the time!! I love the card paper!!

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

I did Tammy!!

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Erica & Lisa
I think you ladies answered my question before I even asked it-- I was going to inquire about card stock and see what you ladies recommended
Thanks for the link
Laura
ETA- what do you do about envelopes if you order the cardstock separate?

Here is the software that I bought (if anyone is interested)
Scrapbook Factory Deluxe
Happy to say I got it cheaper at Costco!!

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Laura...I buy my envelopes at STaples. They sell the standard sizes, thoese being as follow:

a size to fit an 8.5x11 piece of paper folded in half

and

a size to fit an 8.5x11 piece of paper folded in 4's

I hope that makes sense!!

Michaels sells the cards and envelopes in on package and they are a little smallers then a 1/2 sheet but bigger than a 1/4 sheet. I like to use those because they are already scored!!

RichsBride aka Kelly I love shopping online for supplies-luv2scrapbook.com

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

I have actualy made my own envelopes as well...I turn the card so that it is angled on another piece of paper (and leave a little bit of space) then I fold the flaps down and glue with a glue stick...


I would love to make a template for envelopes...so that they can always match...

I'll have to check out staples...

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Erica...there is a great envelope template that i will find for you!!

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

OK ladies-- I thought I would show off some of the pages I did this weekend--- the best part is I can see myself improving --but I still have ways to go
I am amazed when I see some of the work you ladies have done (and now I see how you spend so much money!!!)
But here are a few pages that I just finished


And I finally started my wedding scrapbook(not bad we have been married for over 2 yers!!!)




Because of the sheet protectors I was getting alot of glare-- any way around this?
Laura

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Re: THE OFFICIAL SCRAPBOOKERS THREAD!!!!!!!!

Nora --you know what's funny--when I saw your other post I was like hmmm-- is it worth the drive to LI-- and I think it is !!! DH will think I am crazy but my obsession for scrapping has really hit me head on and I want to learn from you ladies so depending on the date I might take the drive out!!!

Laure - my DH think it's some sort of cult He is getting used to the trips to the scrap/craft stores and knows to save tickets & brochures from places we go to include in the books.
